Heterogeneity in SDF-1 production defines the vasculogenic potential of c-kit+ cardiac progenitor cells. Mus musculus

Five Cardiac Progenitor Clones Isolated were from the left ventricle of mouse heart. The 5 cardiac progenitor clones differ in morphology and vasculogenic potential. Total RNA was isolated and hybridized on mouse Affymetrix MOE_430_2 arrays to compare basal gene expression levels and correlate the gene expression with fuctional studies. Overall design: Five cardiac progenitor clones were analyzed. No fold changes were calculated. Hierachical clustering based on Gene Ontologies was examined based .
